GDPR, the new data protection regulation from the EU, released in May 2016 with an implementation date of May 25, 2018, is the most significant change to privacy law in a generation. Organizations anywhere in the world that collect or process personal data on EU residents must comply with the new regulation, or they will face significant financial penalties. It strengthens rules around data protection in some significant areas, while continuing with the foundational principles of the 1995 EU Directive on data protection.
